Apsley House

Apsley House is the London townhouse of the Dukes of Wellington, standing at Hyde Park Corner facing the central traffic roundabout and Wellington Arch. Built in the 1770s to a neoclassical design and later refaced and extended by Benjamin Dean Wyatt, it now houses the Wellington Museum and retains a private apartment for the family.

What Apsley House looked like in its prime.

Three-storey neoclassical town house clad in pale Bath stone over a rusticated ground floor; a pedimented Corinthian portico with four giant columns dominates the south façade above three round-arched entrances. Tall sash windows align in three bays on each piano nobile, a flagpole rises from the central pediment, and green wrought-iron railings, gate piers and lamp standards line the pavement. The house sits alone at Hyde Park Corner facing the Wellington Arch and a wide traffic circle.
